VICFCNT – 2020

VIRTUAL INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON FUTURISTIC COMMUNICATION AND NETWORK TECHNOLOGIES (VICFCNT 2020)

About the Conference

Virtual International Conference on Futuristic Communication and Network Technologies (VICFCNT) is scheduled on November 6th and 7th 2020 at VIT University, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. The School of Electronics Engineering at VIT University proudly organizes this conference which would provide a platform for the researchers in the field of Communication and Networks to disseminate their ideas and research findings. This would enrich the knowledge of the intellectuals who are part of this conference and would lead to further exploration and innovative research in the various domains of the conference. This conference would also help the budding engineers and experts working in the same areas of research to network.

The world is centered on the various communication technologies and hence the main aim of this conference is to bring leading academic scientists, researchers and research scholars to exchange and share their experiences and research findings on all aspects in the emerging trends and technologies in the field of Optical Communication, Microwave engineering for future networks, Application of AI / ML in Networks, Internet of Things, Information Processing, Network Security and Blockchain technologies. The experts in these areas around the globe would be invited for delivering keynote talks and invited lectures. Research papers presented in this forum would be published in peer-reviewed journals.
